Welfare should not come from government. "Welfare" should come from individuals and the community because welfare that comes through those sources recognizes the actual level of need & worthiness of any help.
After decades of welfare we have become a society who doesn't think about doing much more than surface help for one in need because "the government will take care of it.".
But... the line the government feeds us causes society to weaken and government to strengthen until government can no longer carried weakened society and both collapse.
Even then those who drank the "government welfare" Kool Aid will still see it as the fault of those who were against welfare. This issue isn't one about how much we should do on a governmental basis. It's about whether we should or not. And, especially on a federal level, we should not.
It harms society... it doesn't help society.
It isn't with antiquated thinking that the Bible states that a man who doesn't work shouldn't eat. It is with the wisdom of our God and creator that these words are uttered.
